    The Start of the Modern Electronics Era Bardeen, Shockley, and Brattain at Bell    Labs - Brattain and Bardeen invented the bipolar transistor in 1947. Fig(1) The first germanium bipolar transistor. Roughly 50 years later, electronics account for 10% (4 trillion dollars) of the world GDP.    Fig(2) Electronics Milestones 1874 Braun invents the solid-state rectifier. 1906 DeForest invents triode vacuum tube. 1907-1927  First radio circuits developed from diodes and triodes. 1925 Lilienfeld field-effect device patent filed. 1947 Bardeen and Brattain at Bell Laboratories invent bipolar transistors. 1952 Commercial bipolar transistor production at Texas Instruments. 1956 Bardeen, Brattain, and Shockley receive Nobel prize. 1958 Integrated circuit developed by Kilby and Noyce 1961 First commercial IC from Fairchild Semiconductor 1963 IEEE formed from merger or IRE and AIEE 1968 First commercial IC opamp 1970 One transist...

                       ECE  Modern Electronic Era Electronics & Communication Engineering deals with the electronic devices, circuits, communication equipments like transmitter, receiver, integrated circuits (IC). It also deals with basic electronics, analog and digital transmission & reception of data, voice and video (Example AM, FM, DTH), microprocessors, satellite communication, microwave engineering, antennae and wave progression. It aims to deepen the knowledge and skills of the students on the basic concepts and theories that will equip them in their professional work involving analysis, systems implementation, operation, production, and maintenance of the various applications in the field of Electronics and Communications Engineering. What does an Electronics & Communication Engineer do? All of the applications which make our life easier and enjoyable such as Television, Radio, Computers, Mobiles etc. a...
